Lorain County High School Football Week 6 Picks

We are halfway through the high school football season. At this point, you can look at teams and have a good idea of which ones are going to have a terrific record at the end of the year.

Patriot Athletic Conference Stars Division Black River (3-2, 2-0, 2 points) Buckeye (3-2, 2-0, 2 points) Keystone (4-1, 2-0, 2 points) Firelands (4-1, 1-1, 1 point) Brookside (3-2, 1-1, 1 point) Wellington (1-4, 0-2, 0 points) Patriot Athletic Conference Stripes Division Columbia (4-1, 2-0, 2 points) Fairview (1-4, 1-1, 1 point) Brooklyn (1-4, 0-2, 0 points) Clearview (2-3, 0-2, 0 points) Oberlin (1-4, 0-2, 0 points) Lutheran West (1-4, 0-2, 0 points) Southwestern Conference Berea-Midpark (4-1, 2-0) Brecksville (4-1, 2-0) North Olmsted (3-2, 1-1) Olmsted Falls (2-3, 1-1) Amherst (1-4, 0-1) Avon Lake (1-4, 0-1) Westlake (2-3, 0-2) West Shore Conference Midview (5-0, 2-0) Elyria Catholic (4-1, 1-0) North Ridgeville (4-1, 1-0) Avon (4-1, 1-1) Bay (4-1, 1-1) Rocky River (3-2, 0-2) Lakewood​ (2-3, 0-2) Independent Open Door Christian (1-4) Vermilion (1-4)

The only unbeaten team in Lorain County is the Midview Middies out of Grafton. Many thought, including me, this was going to be a transition year. Gone is longtime coach Bill Albright and 3-year starting QB Cody Callaway. Instead, new coach DJ Shaw and sophomore quarterback Dustin Crum have Midview at the top of the West Shore Conference.

Midview defeated Avon last week 49-42 which marks the Eagles first conference loss since 2009.

Whether Midview will be the last team standing is up for debate. Five of the seven teams in the WSC have four or more wins.

In the Patriot Athletic Conference, five of the six teams there have a winning record while only one team, Columbia, has a winning record in the Stripes division.

The PAC schedule is interesting. Weeks 4 and 5 are all crossover games which means a team from the Stars Division plays a team from the Stripes division. The winner of these games receive one point. Starting with week 6 of the season, it's all division games. The point is any team can win their division.

I have had a lot of luck with my picks going 56-9 over the last three weeks. My overall record of 85-23 puts me on pace for my best year ever making predictions.

At 79-24, Jeremy is also on pace for his best season ever.
